Thoughts on interior Cleaner & Protectant
Howdy all!
For the past 15-20 years I've been using Armor All Multi-Purpose Auto Cleaner & Armorall Low Gloss Protectant. Armor All no longer makes the low gloss protectant and I don't like the greasy "Over shiny" that you get with the normal Armor All protectant. I noticed a lot of you seem to like the Meguirs line of cleaners. If I wanted to replace my Armor All cleaner AND protectant with something better, where should I look? Meguirs? Keeping in mind I don't want something TOO shiny. It can be a two product cleaner/protectant, or, if it works good enough, a one bottle solution. Thanks!!!! Russ |
i see you are from Perry, IA. I am from Madrid and have a detail shop there. I dont really use stuff off the shelves. But might be able to get you some stuff if you want :D
are you wanting something to used on the dash and plastics and/or leather seats? |
On plastic interior parts I use a dilluted mixuture of Purple Power for cleaning, then follow up with Meguiars #40 Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner. I clean the leather with Lexol Leather Cleaner and follow up with Zainos Leather In A Bottle.

Yup, I'm from north of Perry a couple miles. What is the name of your shop in Madrid? Might be closer to Spring, but I might be interested in seeing when you use if it isn't too cost prohibitive! :-) As far as where I'd use it, I have cloth seats. Mainly interested in use on the dash/interior plastic paneling.
Mike, That is a heck of a process! I'll assume it works pretty good though. I had never heard of Purple Power or Zainos Leather In A Bottle and have not had the oppertunity to use Meguiars #40 Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner. I use Lexol on my boots though! That works pretty good. More for me to think about! Good thing I have some time till spring! THANKS! Russ |
Turtle Wax ICE interior cleaners are pretty good for the dash and doors. Very little glare and shiny in it.
Then I use leather conditioners and cleaners on my seats. |

We could get you set up for a pretty decent price. |
I use armor all gel on the dash and doors. I dont like the shiny look either, and find that using the gel very sparingly produces great results. The bottle of gel lasts a very long time, too.
I also use the meguires gold class leather cleaner/protectant on my seat. I love the way it smells, and it brings that proven quality. |
they have a lot of nice products here. Link:Car Care, Detail Supplies, Garage Organization, Car Accessories - Griot's Garage 800-345-5789

I only use Adams products. But I use Zainos leather in a bottle on the leather the smell is wonderful and great protection on the leather.
|
I also use Meguiar's Gold Class leather cleaner and conditioner on the seats. Works great and smells good. Dad uses it on his cars too.
